One of the largest native groups in North America, the name "Cree" comes from "Kristineaux", or "Kri" for short; a name given to them by French fur traders. The Cree are indegenous people from Manitoba; however, one branch moved southwest to adopt a buffalo culture. This group is referred to as the Plains Cree. Although warlike, the Cree were friendly to fur traders, and their history closely follows that of the Hudson's Bay and North West fur companies. Crees intermarried with the French and later Scots settlers to form a mixed blood people known as the Metis. The Metis and Cree fought the Canadian government forces when the building of the Canadian Pacific Railroad encroached upon their lands. Finally, in 1885 they were defeated. The Cree had a major impact on Canadian history and its language continues to be one the most widely used Indian languages in many communities across Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta, Canada. Today they are one of the larger Canadian tribes with another group living in Montana.
07/15/2018 By Joe Friday Out with OneKindWord today trying to earn the Hidden Creatures Souvenirs. with 100 finds today. TFTC's
07/14/2018 By OneKindWord Headed out with Joe Friday today with the goal of finding at least 100 caches to earn the Hidden Creatures souvenirs. It was a hot day, but we got it done. Almost all of the caches were quick finds, with containers in good shape and well maintained logs. Not sure how we had so many unfound caches about a half hour from home, but glad we did as it allowed us to get the souvenirs fairly easily. Thanks for all of the fun placements!
